Berns and colleagues are beginning to reveal the biological basis of the human attraction to surprising events.   Survival of the clearest - There are no fossils to show how language evolved. But evolutionary game theory is revealing how some of the defining features of human language could have been shaped by natural selection. Article by Steven Pinker.   Swanson et al. 98 (5): 2509 - A new study by Willie J. Swanson and colleagues provides evidence of sperm competition and sexual conflict.   Talking about the genome - Biologists must take responsibility for the correct use of language in genetics.   Teenage boys are embracing fatherhood - Scientists have found that boys aged between 11 and 14 unconsciously change the way they cradle babies, a sign of their emerging parental instincts.   Temptation Island: Explaining Shannon and Andy by Robert Wright - According to Robert Wright evolutionary psychologists "try to predict behavior only in an aggregate statistical sense, mindful that there will always be exceptions".   Testing Hamilton's rule with competition between relatives - Here we report thatcontrary to Hamilton's original prediction but in agreement with recent theory-the level of fighting between males shows no correlation with the estimated relatedness of interacting males, but is negatively correlated with future mating opportunities.   The (Im)moral Animal - A controversial outline of evolutionary psychology by Frank Miele of Skeptic Magazine.   The Cavemans New Clothes - From what they wore to how they hunted: overturning the threadbare reconstructions of Ice Age culture.   The Darwin Debate - This essay appeared in Marxism Today 26 (no.4), April 1982, pp. 20-22.   The Development of Herbert Spencer's Concept of Evolution - A paper delivered to the Eleventh International Congress of the History of Science, Warsaw, August 1965 and published in Actes du Xle Congres International d'Histoire des Sciences Warsaw: Ossolineum, 1967, vol. 2, pp. 273-78.   The Drosophila Netrin receptor Frazzled guides axons by controlling Netrin distribution - Frazzled-dependent guidance of one pioneer neuron in the central nervous system can be accounted for solely on the basis of this ability of Frazzled to control Netrin distribution, and not by Frazzled signalling. We propose a model of patterning mechanism in which a receptor rearranges secreted ligand molecules, thereby creating positional information for other receptors.   The Functions of Postpartum Depression - An online paper by Edward Hagen.   The Functions of the Brain: Gall to Ferrier (1808-1886) - An online paper on mind, brain, and adaptation in the nineteenth century. It was published in Isis 59: 251-68, 1968.   The Genetic Archaeology of Race | Olson - The study of human genetic variation has become the most contentious area in modern science. A detailed article by Steve Olson.   The Human Limits of Nature - 'The Limits of Human Nature' was the title of the London Institute of Contemporary Arts winter lecture series for 1971-72. The distinguished group of contributors, included Alan Ryan, Arthur Koestler, David Bohm, Raymond Williams and John Maynard Smith. This contribution was published in J. Benthall, ed., 'The Limits of Human Nature' (Allen Lane, 1973), pp. 235-74.   The Meanings of Darwinism: Then and Now? - Charles Darwin grew up in Shrewsbury, Shropshire and attended Shrewsbury School for seven years. The school held a Millennium Conference on 'Darwinism and Ethics for the Next Millennium' on 16 October 1999. Papers were given by Mary Midgley, Matt Ridley, Colin Tudge and Robert M. Young.   The Naturalization of Value Systems in the Human Sciences - This essay first appeared as an Open University Course Unit for 'Science and Belief: from Darwin to Einstein', Block VI: Problems in the Biological and Human Sciences. Milton Keynes: Open University Press, 1981, pp. 63-110.   The New Creationism by Robert Wright - With this sentence, the newspaper of record has now granted official significance to the latest form of opposition to Darwinism. As the Times notes, adherents of 'intelligent design theory' are doing what creationists have long done, such as trying to change public-school science curricula. But there's a difference: Instead of being a bunch of yahoos, they are a bunch of 'academics and intellectuals' with new, 'more sophisticated' ideas.     [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ] Help build the largest human-edited directory on the web.   Submit a Site - Open Directory Project - Become an Editor
